Review from the Ottawa Sun - WTF?

[ember]

Can anyone explain to me what the part in red by this 'journalist' actually means? Is it some 'in joke' or something??? Or is he really as ignorant as he sounds??



"Hours earlier, Canadian Sebastian Bach had the thankless task of opening the show with Aerosmith's "I'm Back in the Saddle Again", and despite having a wail that only bats and air-traffic controllers can hear, Bach's version badly misses Steve Tyler's rasp. Especially in Scotiabank Place.

The sound is the worst I've ever heard, all bass and drums. Bach, the former lead singer of Skid Row, punctuates his set with girlish F-bombs. That's sooo cool.

You wouldn't know it by tonight's performance, but in Europe, he's a busy opera singer, which makes tonight's show seem ridiculous and self-parodying.

Now he's putting on a hockey jersey and telling the fans the first time he played Ottawa was in Hull 27 years ago. Then he gives them an effing salute The crowd effing loves it. It's a pure FUBAR moment."



Umm..........don't really get the fubar comment either. Anyone out there??

On a more positive note, a few comments from fans from the mygnr forum who were there...........

"ERIC says "crowd is incredible for Baz!"

and

"That was my first time seein baz and it was great. I'll remember him."

Obviously MUCH cooler dudes.

Do you think so? Wow, strange sense of humour, lol. And you're right. Not funny at all.

Obviously not a fan of Sebastian's. But who knows. But thanks for posting anyway.

im sure baz dont care about what the critics think anyways

as gene simmons once said - critics are just being paid to do their jobs and their opinon really comes from no-where, but when a fan speaks, the heart speaks and we listen..

so as long as the fans had a good time - thats all that matters really - besides have we ever heard of baz having a bad show? i dont think that would be possible - unless you count that time someone threw a bottle at him..

I think the Blabbermouthers must be breeding.
If that was supposed to be funny, it completely missed the mark.

It's good to hear the positive feedback from the GnR forums, though. And hey, even if Denis Armstrong isn't a fan, he made it perfectly clear that the crowd loved Sebastian - that's the important bit!

Haha, Blabbermouthers breeding. What an image THAT conjures up in my mind!! But yeah, good point. He did make it clear that the crowd loved Sebastian and you're right. It IS the important bit.
